Leng Linjiang glanced at An Qi in surprise, subconsciously held Yao Yao tightly in his arms, and sneered, half-seriously, "I despise the young lady who has been hugged by others."
An Qi was extremely embarrassed and smiled bitterly. He was overestimating his own abilities. How could he allow others to touch the girl that Mr. Shaoyin liked? It would be a sin to even take a look at her.
Besides, Lord Shaoyin is the master, and the master is not tired, so there is nothing for him to be unhappy about.
He leaned forward, with a respectful smile on his face and an indignant curse in his heart, and walked with Leng Linjiang to the inner courtyard.
Yao Yao nestled in Leng Linjiang's arms with peace of mind, tilted his head slightly, and quickly looked at everything in front of him with the corner of his eye.
I heard that the princess of Annan County was from Yangzhou. It is not surprising that the garden is exquisite and beautiful, but what is going on with the servants who are so silent in the garden.
Yao Yao glanced over and saw that all the servants and maids he met on the road had their heads lowered. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, their figures were graceful and graceful. They didn't need to look at their faces, but just looked at their figures to tell that they were all extremely beautiful. people.
She clicked her tongue. She had just walked from the outer courtyard, but she had never seen so many beautiful servants and maids.
Thinking of the rumors about Annan County Princess, and looking at so many pleasing people, it can be seen that the rumors are somewhat true.
They walked to the main room in silence all the way. The princess of Annan County had already received the news. She knew that the girl who was brought in was injured, could not walk, and could not even get up. She ordered people to lay the kang in the east wing early and sent her away. After coming in, he was placed in the east wing.
Yao Yao looked like he was at the mercy of others, lying on the kang silently, his apricot eyes as clean and clear as a spring, looking at everything in front of him innocently and horrified.
The Princess of Annan County looked at Yao Yao several times with a smile on her face, and secretly admired her in her heart. This girl looked timid and fragile, but she had a strong aura, especially her big almond eyes. She had not been deliberately trained, but she was very charming and natural. And enough to captivate the soul.
She turned to look at Leng Linjiang and was full of praise: "Yun Gui's vision is really good. Where did you find such a smart girl?"
Leng Linjiang's face was filled with pride, and his eyes that were always smiling were as curved as the crescent moon: "That's natural, Yun Gui has seen countless people after all. When I met this little lady on the long street that day, Yun Gui took one look at her. It can be seen that she has excellent bones, but it is a pity that she is so proud that Yun Gui really has nowhere to start."
"Although it is more interesting to have a proud and stubborn girl, if you are too proud, you will lose the fun." Princess Annan nodded, covered her mouth and chuckled, her whole body showing a soft light: "It's really rare. , It’s rare for Yun Gui to care so much about someone, don’t worry, I will make sure you get what you want.”
After saying this, she reached out her hand and slowly and gently touched Yao Yao's face.
Yao Yao shivered coldly, not from fear but from weirdness. This feeling was really strange.
The princess of Annan County has lived a pampered life for decades. Her fingers are not touched by spring water, and her hands are as warm and delicate as gel, without any fine lines or calluses. They are like a piece of fine silk and satin running across her cheeks.
Now that she has entered Annan County Prince's Mansion, there is no need for her to pretend to be unconscious anymore. She opens her eyes, her apricot eyes are filled with water, anger, fear, pity, unwillingness, all kinds of mixed emotions, her usual pride. His strength and tenacity have all restrained, and his whole person has become more and more pitiful.
The princess of Annan County clicked her tongue twice: "I really feel pity for you."
Yao Yao had shaken off the coldness of her life. She wanted to sneer out of habit, but as soon as she opened her lips, she lowered her lips and said weakly and tremblingly: "You, you guys, What are you going to do? Here, where is this place?"
Annan County Princess blinked her bright eyes: "Little girl, this is the Annan County Prince's Mansion."
Yao Yao made a look of horror. He had obviously heard of the reputation of Annan County Prince's Palace. He trembled his lips and endured it again and again, but his tears still flowed down uncontrollably: "No, no, civilian girls, civilian girls don't do this. , the women of the people are good people, you, you cannot rob the women of the people, this is against the law!"
Her voice suddenly became sharp and high-pitched, and she forced herself to sit up, struggling to roll down the bed: "I, I'm going to sue you, I'm going to Jingzhao Mansion to beat drums and redress the grievances!"
The Princess of Annan County was astonished at Yao Yao's innocence. How could such a silly and ridiculous little girl be so proud and so difficult to deal with? Leng Linjiang was really useless. He could not be subdued after such a long time.
She teased: "Jingzhao Mansion is in Guangdefang. If you don't know how to get there, I can send someone to take you there. By the way, you can also play the Dengwen drum," she said with clear eyes. With sympathy in his heart, he looked Yao Yao up and down disdainfully: "I just don't know if your little body can bear those twenty army sticks."
Yao Yao suddenly turned pale, her red lips lost all color in an instant, she lowered her eyes timidly and pitifully, and her tears kept rolling down one by one.
Seeing the complicated changes in Yao Yao's face, Leng Linjiang was amazed. He didn't know how Yao Yao did it. He clearly didn't do anything to his face, and he didn't even put on makeup. He just looked upright. His usual heroic spirit was completely gone, leaving only kindness and cowardice.
Leng Linjiang felt that although Yao Yao frequently visited Pingkangfang and learned a superb face-changing trick from Hua Niang, he was so gifted that Hua Niang would feel ashamed when he saw her. She would have to dig a hole to dig a hole for herself. Buried.
The princess of Annan County saw Yao Yao feeling fearful. Knowing that today's beating had already had an effect, she stopped pressing harder and harder. Training a girl is not something that can be done while the iron is hot, but like boiling a frog in warm water. Generally speaking, you slowly think about it, saying that you don’t want this girl to become a one-time deal, but to stay for a long time. Then you have to let the emotions of love and fear penetrate into the girl’s heart like drizzle, and you have to let this girl. The little girl who was inexperienced in the world was extremely afraid of the power of the wealthy family, and she had completely put down her guard against Leng Linjiang. In short, she had to be willing to chase him away.
She glanced at Yao Yao with gleaming eyes, and smiled softly with deep meaning: "Okay, whether to go to Jingzhao Mansion or to play the Dengwen Drum, you can decide and let me know."
After saying that, she smiled with a clear smile and walked outside without looking back. When she passed by Leng Linjiang, she curved her lips and said, "Yun Gui, are you going back home or staying?" Down?"
Leng Linjiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I heard that the county prince's palace has kept many beautiful maids, all of them are beautiful. I wonder if Yun Gui will disturb her if she stays?"
The Princess of Annan County covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Of course not, just go back and do what you want. I'll go see the child."
Seeing Princess Annan walk out without forgetting to close the door gently, Yao Yao and Leng Linjiang looked at each other, lowered their voices, and smiled furtively: "Old Leng, is that child Meng Suigai?" ?”
Leng Linjiang nodded heavily: "Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Of course I do," Yao Yao touched his knees with regret and sighed: "It's a pity that I'm not good enough now."
After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Yao Yao sat back and looked at everything around him carefully.
Except for the kang bed in the east wing, there are no other furnishings commonly used by people in Chang'an City.
Whether it is the workmanship and carvings on the desks and beds, the color embroidery on the curtains, brocade quilts, or the shapes and patterns of the flower pouches and tea sets, they are all extremely beautiful and enchanting. They have neither the elegance and elegance of the south nor the dignity and heaviness of the capital.
Yao Yao frowned and asked in a low voice: "Old Leng, you said the princess of Annan County is from Yangzhou?"
Leng Linjiang nodded without understanding: "Yes, he is from Yangzhou. He married into the capital at the age of sixteen, so it has been twenty-one or two years." He looked around and saw Yao Yaoruo. With a thoughtful look on his face, he couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Yao Yao thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "It can't be said that there is anything wrong, just some doubts. According to what you said, the princess of Annan County is from Yangzhou and has been married to the capital for twenty-one or two years. If it is difficult to leave her hometown, It is normal for the furnishings in the house to be in Yangzhou style. If you follow the local customs, the furnishings in the house are all in Chang'an style, which is reasonable. But look at it." She raised her hand and clicked on a few items at random: "Look at this. The flower pouch, the seat screen, and the embroidery on the top of the curtain are not at all like those from Yangzhou or Chang'an, but they are very similar to the style of Qiuci." She pointed to the screen not far away and narrowed her eyes slightly: " You see, the person in the painting is playing a 筚篥, which is an original musical instrument from the Qiuci Kingdom, and it was later slowly introduced to the Central Plains and became prosperous."
Even if he didn't point it out clearly, he wouldn't feel it. Once someone pointed it out, Leng Linjiang felt that everything in this room was strange. He twirled his sleeves and said slowly and hesitantly: "Perhaps the princess of Annan County likes these and specially asked the craftsmen to make them?"
"It is also possible," Yao Yao nodded: "This abnormality is nothing and insignificant. Let's investigate Xia Yuanji's murder case first."
Leng Linjiang also put the matter aside for the time being, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The most important thing is to find Meng Suigai first and ask him if he has suffered a loss!"
Yao Yao laughed out loud, and was about to speak when her ears suddenly moved slightly. Her face changed, her eyes twitched, she looked out the window, and suddenly she shouted in a hoarse voice: "Go away! Go away!" Come on! Don't touch me, you bastard!"
Leng Linjiang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses. With a "pop" sound, his left hand slapped his right hand heavily. The sound was like a slap. Along with Yao Yao's miserable cry, he sneered and scolded : "You little bitch! Who do you think you are? It's your blessing that I like you. Don't be shameless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slanted down on the window paper, and a knock on the door was heard outside: "Your servant Ruyu has met Mr. Shaoyin. The princess said that Mr. Shaoyin came in a hurry. She thought she hadn't used the evening food yet, so she I ordered people to arrange the banquet in the flower hall, and asked Master Shaoyin to move to the flower hall to have dinner." She paused slightly, and smiled faintly: "The princess of the county said that she would let Mr. Meng serve, and Master Shaoyin must appreciate it."
